CicLAvia returns this Sunday and claims Wilshire boulevard, from 7th Street to Fairfax Boulevard, for the day for cyclists and pedestrians. Along the way, make sure to check out a photo installation, presented by MOPLA, by photographer Jay Mark Johnson, who has aimed his slit-scan camera at cyclists in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and in Los Angeles, on a past cicLAvia.

And while taking a rest to view the MOPLA photo installation above, consider a visit to LACMA, on the other side of the road. There you can catch the “immersive viewing experience” by artist Helen Pashgian; her new installation of 12 tall acrylic columns fill a gallery space and demonstrate her fascination with light. And don’t forget James Turrell’s LACMA installation ends this month.

Glendale’s Brand Art and Music Library has just reopened after a two year restoration process helmed by architecture firm Gruen Associates. The historic building was constructed in 1904 and was originally the dwelling of Leslie C. Brand. The restoration process included rehabilitating the original ceiling paintings, a relocated entryway and seismic upgrades.

When: Open every day except Sunday and Monday (check here for opening times).

Chef Roy Choi’s eagerly-anticipated Pot eatery has just opened its doors inside the newly opened Line Hotel, designed by architect Sean Knibb. Hearty Korean food aside, the design at POT is also an attraction. From the green neon sign reminiscent of marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, to the tabloid-style menus, to the flowery flourishes that can be found throughout the restaurant, Choi and his design team mix up the visual references with the same gusto as his food.

When: Now open daily from 11:00 AM- 11:00PM

Where: 3515 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles

Tickets: N/A. Sit down and enjoy a meal!
